Forget Me Not short review

Forget Me Not by Alyson Derrick
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

I read She Gets The Girl by Rachael Lippincott and Alyson Derrick last year and devoured it, so when I found out Alyson Derrick was coming out with her solo debut I was excited and this book did not disappoint.

At first I couldn't properly get into it but then I hit a certain point and I just couldn't put it down, I sat there and finished it desperate to know how it ended. I've no idea what changed but I loved it from that point on.

I really liked the characters and none of them felt like they were just there for the sake of it. Nora was probably my favourite but then I did also really like Stevie and Ryan. By the end of the book I felt really bad for Nora, if you've read it you'll know what happens in the later chapters but I was also happy for Stevie and how everything ended up working out for her.

I found the plot to be really interesting and it kept me wanting to know what was going to happen to Stevie and Nora's relationship along with the other characters and what had happened in the last two years. There were some bits and characters that annoyed me but all in all I had a good time reading this book and highly recommended it.

The Christmas Book Club book review

I read a Sarah Morgan Christmas book during Advent last year and as soon as I heard about this book I knew I had to read it and the timings for it worked out perfectly for me to read about 15 pages a day during December until Christmas Eve when I finished it. This isn’t a romance book as such but it still has all the feels that the Christmas romance books do. The story follows four different women and has their POVs throughout, Hattie owns the inn, and Anna, Erica and Claudia meet up every year for a book club holiday. There is such a cosy feel in this book and I just loved reading it. The friendship between Anna, Erica and Claudia is so strong and I’d love to have a friendship like that, they are there for each other no matter what and each brings something different to the table. They are all going through something during the book and need each other’s support and that support really is perfect. Also by the end of the book, they have all grown as people especially when faced w...

The Off-Limits Rule book review

I discovered Sarah Adams in early 2024 after it was recommended to me on Bookstagram and while she wasn’t originally an author I was sure about, however as I read more from her I fell in love with her books and she definitely became a favourite auto-buy author. My last traditionally published backlist series I had to read going into 2025 was It Happens in Nashville duology, the first book being The Off-Limits Rule. The Off-Limits Rule follows Lucy who has moved her and her son back in with her brother who has made it clear that his best friend, Cooper, is off-limits to her however Lucy has gotten a different impression of Cooper to what Drew has told her about him and maybe it’s okay to break the rule sometimes, right? As soon as I started this book I was reminded of exactly why I love Sarah Adams books so much. I was invested in Lucy’s character and hooked by the story. I enjoyed all of the characters and found it to be a book that I could not put down. The romance w...

My Kind of Trouble book review

I found myself enjoying this read however the more I think about the more that I'm sure that there were things I think could have worked better for me and I find a 3/3.5 star rating is the right place to sit with my thoughts. I really enjoyed reading about the characters and seeing what they were going to do along with watching their romance develop as the story went on. I don't think I've really read anything like this before in a really positive way and there were so many scenes I had a great time reading but there were also parts that I wasn't so taken by and definitely wished had been done differently, and found to be sat in the middle of two different directions I would potentially have enjoyed more. I thought the con part would be good fun but in many ways I found that it and the romance were competing for page space with neither really winning. The parts of the con that we saw definitely weren't the parts that interested me and I would have either liked a...
